Can my mother's hand tendonitis heal on its own?

Joint inflammation is a very common symptom, and there are many reasons for this disease. The most important symptom when this happens is that the wound will turn red and hot. It can be said that the impact is also relatively large and must be treated promptly. So can mother’s hand inflammation be cured? Excessive friction between the tendons and tendons for a long time can cause damaging inflammation of the tendons and tendon sheaths, causing swelling, which is called tenosynovitis.

If not treated, it may develop into a permanent active problem. Generally, mild tenosynovitis can be cured by hot compresses, rest and local acupuncture therapy, while more severe cases may require surgery.

What is the cause of joint inflammation?

There are two tendons in the first bone fibrous sheath between the carpal bones, namely the tendons of the extensor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis. After passing through the narrow sheath, the two tendons form a certain angle with the sheath and end at the base of the first metacarpal bone and the base of the proximal phalanx of the thumb respectively. As the wrist and thumb move more, the folds of the tendons increase. Over time, part of the synovium becomes inflamed and thickened, the tendons become wider, the fiber sheath wall thickness also becomes thicker, and subcutaneous nodules appear at the radial styloid process, making it difficult for the tendons to slide in the sheath, causing pain and other symptoms.

In order to prevent this kind of disease from happening, you must develop the habit of washing your hands with warm water when washing your hands. If you have this symptom, you should not touch cold water, but also exercise moderately and perform self-massage. In fact, no matter what kind of disease it is, the most important thing is to treat it in time. As long as it is treated in the best time, I believe it will be cured.

Tenosynovitis treatment strategies

1. Medication treatment is the first priority

For the treatment of tenosynovitis, we also have relevant medicines, such as painkillers, but the treatment of medicines must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. For example, patients with tenosynovitis must be careful not to use ibuprofen tablets, because this type of medicine is only suitable for headaches and cannot be used to treat tenosynovitis. The antiviral drugs we usually use to treat tenosynovitis are aspirin, so it must be treated under the guidance of a doctor and not blindly.

2. Develop the habit of washing hands with warm water

After suffering from tenosynovitis, patients should change some of their usual incorrect habits. For example, many people like to wash their hands with cold water, which is a very inappropriate habit for people with tenosynovitis. They should wash their hands with warm water, which will help alleviate the condition to a certain extent, but it is still best to go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Turning your wrist can relieve

The third way to relieve tenosynovitis is to rotate your wrist. When we feel obvious pain, we can do some gentle wrist rotation movements, which can help relieve pain.
